It’s amazing what you can build with cocktail sticks and midget gems! Pupils (and teachers) tried to build the highest freestanding structure in one of the Maths Enrichment Week activities this week.

Professional artist sparks creativity

Year 8 enjoyed the most fantastically creative Design activity on Tuesday, creating artworks inspired by the ritual of storytelling and Victorian Tunnel Books. Professional artist Zoe Scammell led the one day workshop and year 8 produced such wonderful outcome pieces. Fun was had by all!

Airbus visit

July 17, 2018/in General News/by BHGS

Dave Ledger from Airbus Stevenage visited to give a presentation about our solar system, satellites and rockets. He then ran a rocket workshop where the Year 7 girls got to build and launch their own rockets made from fizzy drink bottles, stiff card, BluTack (who would have thought it made a great rocket top weight) and some decorations.

BHGS embraces biotechnology 10th July

July 10, 2018/in General News/by BHGS

Dr Bune and Mrs Trendifilova were at an Amgen Biotechnology Experience course this week and featured on BBC Look East, which was shown on 9th July. Thanks to BHGS teacher & ABE UK project manager Mrs Cardell, our school will now be able to borrow DNA manipulation equipment to help teach various aspects of the Key Stages 4 and 5 curriculum. The techniques (and thus equipment) include; using micro-pipettes, restriction digests of DNA, ligation of DNA and DNA gel electrophoresis.

The BBC reporters were interested in how Amgen are helping promote STEM in schools and Dr Bune said, “It’s excellent for us and for the pupils. We come from an Outstanding girls’ school and are always looking for new ways of getting the girls engaged in Science. To get an opportunity like this where we can borrow the equipment for free is fantastic.”
